Chased by boar, Kerala woman falls into well, saved

A 54-year-old

woman

from

Adoor

in Kerala’s

Pathanamthitta

district, who was running to escape from a

wild

boar charging at her, fell into an abandoned

well

where she remained neck-deep for nearly 22 hours before being

rescued

. Elizabeth Babu was collecting grass to feed her cow on Monday, when the

boar

came running and hit her. She ran and tried to climb atop wooden planks laid across the mouth of a well on the premises of her house. The planks gave way, plunging her 50ft below.
After failing to locate her, Elizabeth’s husband filed a police complaint Tuesday. Fire and rescue personnel saved the woman, who was later admitted to hospital.
